Why do you guys keep responding to someone who's clearly being an intentional troll?


I don't know why I bother: Ash and Ser are clearly trying to troll me, and I was just trying to get them to think about some ideas they may not have previously considered.

Im still not home so I'll probably look it over in the morning. Ash/glad/5foot probably have insight too but I'll refrain until I can look more over.

I have a question since a bunch of math is being thrown around in here.

Power attack vs Precision on a monk. Yes, I run LE a lot and I do run into difficulty hitting mobs (grazing hits, i never actually miss them) sometimes. Comparison:

Power attack
+.5W to handwraps bringing them to 10.3W (improved PA) (1d8)
+ 5 dmg
Standing 86 melee power
standing 41% double strike
Base dmg +64


Precision
same doublestrike and melee power
+5% to hit
-25% fort to mobs
9.8W handwraps (1d8)
Base dmg is 59


My to hit is 80.

If you need more numbers for math lemme know, I also use whirlwind ALOT. With someone bringing up the comparison between the two, and realizing I don't need power attack for overwhelming critical anymore...

if you miss on a 3 then you would gain dps from precision on a 0 fort mob. with any fort precision would always win. id go precision. i just missed the book on a 116 on lh. 6+110

You're going to miss 5% of the time no matter what when you roll a 1: hard is math?

Well since you're already ditching PA for Precision, won't go into that.

Why Max over Emp Heal? I don't see you having much over 1k SP and I'm running a similar gear setup so with KtA and Maxed + Quickened cures, you'll run out of SP fairly quickly. I know I do but I also pull agro fairly easily as well as not using KtA.

Happen to know the % proc rate and duration of Affirmation? Been considering it for a while now as a way to buff up HP to be able to tank more without having to play pinball with mobs but can't decide without a bit more accurate data.

Dodge line doesn't give MP so can pick up Dodge and call it a day if you only need a tiny bit to hit your cap.

Is there a need for Stunning Blow when you already have Dire Charge and Balanced Attacks? I never liked it due to the break in animation and the long cool down it has. I see mobs being stunned/dead by the time you can use Charge again.

Are you hot swapping weapon sets to break DR on bosses? I don't see you're DPS being very high with all the DR mobs have with that weapon set.

@Epoch

Hit is a bit of a funky stat as it's both the most crucial and the most useless stat we have.

Nothing gives you better gains in DPS than hit until you reach the stage where you only ever miss on 1's. However once you reach that mark, hit becomes absolutely useless. I would say go with Precision and stick with that until your hit increase to the point where you no longer miss.

Thunderforged for DR targets. Working on a set on Mineral 2s. I'm thinking Min 2s will be the best DR breaker, and should bypass everything besides the stupid rakshasha. Affirmation is once a minute. Affirmation is AMAZING. I have bauble, eross, eTwisted, Twisted, archivists, and RoSS on this character. SP isnt an issue.

Not 100% sold on precision vs PA. Would love to debate it. My to hit is fine, except for raid bosses, and LE bosses. Missed the book on a 110+6. I need to see how many targets end game have fortification.

I think stunning blow is worth it, yes. I use it on priority targets that save on dire charge, or the caster that isnt with the group I just stunned. I find it useful.

Min 2 is imo the best DR breaker. Rakshasa is DR Piercing so take out a bow. He has no other forms of DR.

I know Affirmation is once a minute. The question was how long does the temp HP last and what the proc chance of Affirmation is. Also can it proc even if you hit for 0 damage as I remember that Reinvigoration wouldn't if you hit for no damage?

Fair enough on the SP although I find I run out and I have the same set except base RoSS. Granted that is only when I'm solo/duo/trioing and I take the place of the healer during combat. I should stop teaming up with rogues who have terrible SP lol.

I haven't tested myself but noticing from Sneak Attacks alone that LE mobs tend to have some form of Fortification. If I were to take a guess I'd say its in the 50% but an Archer with Sniper Shot isn't the best testing method. I still prefer Precision of PA so I don't have to twist in stuff for bosses but you can always dump that 2nd WF and take up Precision and just go with whichever is needed.

Fair enough on Stunning Blow.

You are talking about stuff that has been identified ad nauseum here and on the mobos for years.  The Elf-Scim-FvS-Kensai build is not news.  You think people aren't talking about it because its some great build that's a big secret but really we aren't talking about it because it's old news.  Newer stuff has surpassed it.  It's like you are talking about how great how great The Bloodstone is.  Nobody disagrees it was best in slot for melees for years.

Not that it's a bad build.  It will still perform decently.  But it's not going to outperform a Ranger 20.

Want to try other servers to freshen up the game some. Was looking at Khyber and Argo. Was invited to some of the chat channels for raids on Khyber so probably going to do Khyber.

Yep. 9MRR is a lot when you take into consideration that your MRR stat is inherently lower. I have around 120 PRR but only 63ish MRR.
